We have giannis' athleticism, Luka's magic and Jokic's crazy efficiency. And at the Same time Curry is still unbelievable and Lebron is still an Allstar. Great times to be an NBA fan to be honest
Hell yeah! It was insane watching it live. Seeing it in slow motion you see his eyes follow the complete arch of the ball. Then being the freak that he is he was able to turn jump and block it. Absolutely amazing. It was one of those jump out of your seat kind of moments.
The fact that he was guarding the guy throwing the alley-oop then in a split second flips turns around to recover and blocks a center from dunking. He was basically in two places at once… that man’s not human.
It is terrifying how easy it is for Giannis to get all the way from halfcourt to the rim with a single dribble and finish with a dunk from the foul line. It's a highlight we would hear about all the time if Wilt or Kareem had done it and here is Giannis pulling it off multiple times in actual games.
@@PiwaiGee when you're a 7 footer like giannis is and have that kind of athleticism its not surprising it would happen. the pressure that those kind of explosive up and down movements have on his long nimble limbs and joints would make it to where he gets worse over time. but yeah i am sure about it, itd be overblown if kareem or wilt did it but giannis makes it look like its nothing.
With all the craziness of the free-throw line dunks and Giannis jumping over Hardaway. Him dunking on/through 2 people somehow gets lost in the mix, insane highlights.
Being a bucks fan the last 4 games of the nba finals were a religious experience. Even if we don’t get another I’m almost certainly gonna remember this era of bucks basketball with nothing but happiness
I don’t think he’s in the beginning of his prime anymore tbh. And he definitely knows that as well (being a Giannis fan myself) which is why he’s putting pressure on the Bucks to do something about it. He doesn’t wanna waste his prime. He’s 29 now. Knowing how injury free and resilient he’s been throughout his career, I’d say he probably still had a good 5 years minimum of his prime. Still, it’s more like he’s right smack in the middle of his prime.
the dunk over tim hardaway is literally not talked about as one of the greatest plays of all time. he CLEARED 6’6 THJ on a fucking lob. commentators didnt help either but my goodness
Nah prime Russ was even quicker, a better passer and a better permiter defender. Giannis is more of a post player. Him and Russ definitely have similar driving skills tho
@@IndigoSignature1234You don't know much ball at all Lol. All that you listed prime Russ had, Giannis also has, with an even better natural IQ for the game on a 6'11 frame basically.
@@IndigoSignature1234 He's the quickest 6'11 player I've ever seen that's for sure and he plays defense from 1 through 5 but lately mostly used as an off ball help defender.
He just showed everyone how lame the dunks in the recent dunk contests were. For a while it was all about jumping AFTER the freethrow line and jumping over people. Giannis did it in actual games.😂
5:16 I remember I nearly woke up my parents with my cheering when I watched that game. That highlight was the moment my love of basketball and the NBA came back from the grave.
something about how he dribbles the ball up court or on fast break is so satisfying, idk what it is. hes so gifted with length and he uses his gift so well.
3:35 If you told me 10 years ago you saw a guy get the ball on the opposite three-point line and take it all the way for a dunk in just one dribble, I would have said you were high watching a game of NBA Jam.
@@Okuni_ To say the least, the current rules are awful. But Giannis is a rare player that actually look good playing under the current rules, he gives a "oldschool" vibe
0:31 this is what makes a player elite compared to original. 2 guys had the same equal chances to block that shot, and they both stopped because they thought it waa already a done and go. Then we got Giannis who doesn't slow down a bit and makes a play
Dunking over someone who’s 6’6” MID GAME is just crazy. Shit, dunking over someone who’s 6’6” in a set up dunk contest is crazy, let alone during a game
Hardaway turn around and surprise surprise Giannis balls were on his face 😅 I'm sure that never happened in his life and he also wasn't aware this could EVER happen on a NBA court
@@PiwaiGeewhat else would u have him do? not run hard and jump? he wasnt a post player or shooter but he could drive and finish, and defend now he has a championship and multiple mvps, if he fell off after today he would still be a hall of famer.
I do not like basketball what's so ever and I don't like any of the popular basketball players in the NBA. Nor do I see basketball at all. But recently a video from insta showed a clip of Gianni's free throw that takes a long time to shoot, so I had the curiosity to see. But omg once I started seeing more highlights of Gianni's I was in an extreme shock 👀😳😲🤯 in what I was seeing oh my god! I see Gianni's as the upcoming great legend of right before Michael Jordan. I am now thinking of buying a jersey Gianni's knowing I am not a fan of basketball nor do I like to see it at all. But Man! Omg! this is a new and inspirational player that moves me to see more highlights videos of him. Wow just wow 🤯
Love these videos, you should do one of the Charlotte Hornets announcer calls but they get increasingly excited!! I think that would be pretty entertaining, everyone knows they are the most expressive announcers in the biz
honestly that block in the NBA finals have to be one of the best block ive ever seen in my life . The instincts to stop that dunk COMING FROM A LOB is not normal .
Lol, that's actually Lisa, one of the Bucks broadcast commentators, and she broke it out because Giannis had just been named All Star Captain. a little silly out of context though
if by 2 you mean 34 then yes. Look at 4:55, he bounces it once from half court to the basket. I wish they changed the too many steps rules instead of pretending they don't exist.

Giannis is like in the middle of his prime. Beginning was when he was like 26.
i think he's at his peak
When it was Giannis‘s first two years in the NBA and he was already dunking over people over 7 foot you knew he was just gonna keep on going off
giannis's come up was such a joy to watch so glad we get to see him every season

John McInroe’s face explains it all. When one of the most animated tennis players ever is left speechless, you did something right.
Blocking a lob is crazy, dude gets different weather reports than everyone else.
Best player in the world today, my favorite

3:02 I couldn’t help but cough up my Portillo’s from laughing because of how unbelievable this dude is. INCREDIBLE.
Giannis is one of my favorite players, not just for his insane plays but also for his personality, he is a legend
Look at Giannis man, so inspirational.
This guy is a cartoon character. All NBA Jam moments
bro giannis absolutely went ballistic on that first round series against detroit. like a god playing against subhumans 😂
5:49 I love it when the Knicks get humiliated on their home floor like that.

Goosebumps watching the last three plays
It's so rare to see an Alley-oop get blocked. He is really gifted.
This guy jumped OVER a dude like literally cleared him💀
Easily the best and most powerful likable player in the NBA
Giannis is a 2K EndGame card come to life.
In the NBA you only have to say one name to strike fear into your opponents: Giannis
my at my little cousins birthday party on the mini hoop (im 12 beers deep)
The crossover and then dunk on gobert face. The basket was shaking. 20 years ago would have been shuttered glass like Shaquille dunks

Nice video, these Giannis plays are crazy🔥
3:13 the basket got destroyed
This is like watching clips of boxing's best knockouts!! Every play you wince from how freakishly nasty they are.
Now we need Greek freak plays that get increasingly more Greek
i'm so happy this was the guy from 2k13 that made me follow the nba & become a buck
Dunking over someone who’s 6’6” MID GAME is just crazy. Shit, dunking over someone who’s 6’6” in a set up dunk contest is crazy, let alone during a game

We will never see again and there’s nothing like him in nba history omg

Hitting LeBron with a chasedown block is some reverse UNO card shit

Thanks for the edit. That's a good one

When the big diesel says you are better than him, no other accolade is necessary
At 30 seconds in the highlights are already insane.
Crazy absolutely crazy how many players actually jumped thinking they had a chance of blocking this man dunk's

Hard AF in the paint - offense and defense
The dunk at 3:04 wasn‘t a windmill. Thats a ferris wheel

Still watching old plays of Giannis, amazing some of the plays are not from human
Imagine if when you finish pulling your socks up you find yourself standing straight up already.
I love how 2 of his best plays are from The Finals. He looks like he is 10 feet tall when you see those long arms go out

One similarity with stars blocking shots from behind is their team mate chasing then giving up as the star jumps some crazy spring

Thumbnail of the decade.
doing a fastbreak against milwaukee bucks with a healthy giannis is surely some players nightmares now
I’m convinced he’s travelling in some of these. He’s taking 2-3 steps while just holding the ball in one hand 🤷♂️
if the ball is spinning in your hand it is not a travel. look at the rule book for the nba 2023
Gianni’s is amazing can’t wait to see more championships

i think he’s a lot faster than he looks the way he gets down the court with one dribble is scary
Giannis and Khris can communicate by telepathy and nothing will convince me otherwise
2 steps from the corner of the ft line dunk in a live game, wild
Brons fans: we will never witness another athletic freak in the nba

Except the fact that Wilt was a ball hog and Giannis isn't!
Can't look forward to seeing this new duo Giannis-Dame
That last one is such an underrated dunk, he literally jumped over 6'6 Tim Hardaway jr.
5:16 this play was unbelievable, my goodness
I think he's one of the only players in the last 10 years that we can say was an almost solo championship player.
